Storage and original photos

Your plan includes an allowance of media storage. You can see what you're using, and free up space, under Settings → Storage.

How much you're using

The bar at the top shows how much of your plan's allowance you've used — for example 7.9 MB of 50 GB used. Allowances scale with your plan; see Plans, billing & screen limits. Below it, Manage storage breaks your usage down into Images and Videos, with a count and size for each.

The quickest way to free space is to delete media you no longer show — open the gallery and remove the items. See Upload and organise media.

Original photos

When you upload or crop a photo, Billboard keeps a full-resolution original so you can re-crop it later without re-uploading. Those originals are listed under Original photos, with their total size and how many are kept.

Originals are the only way to re-crop without loss (see Editing and cropping photos), but they do take up space. Once your galleries are set the way you want, you can reclaim that space:

• Select Delete all originals.
• The cropped photos on your screens stay exactly as they are — only the stored originals are removed.
• After this, reframing a photo means uploading it again.

Keep original photos

Whether originals are kept is controlled by Keep original photos under Settings → Gallery:

• On — every crop keeps its original, so you can re-crop any photo at any time. Uses more storage.
• Off — cropping is final and the original is removed straight away to save space.

You can turn this on before a big batch of edits, then delete the originals from Storage once you're happy — getting the flexibility while you work and the space back when you're done.
